Statement of Interest

A picturesque pair of cottages with some unusual polychrome detailing. The bricks used in the construction of both this and the nearby Langalchorad Cottages (see separate list entry), came from the Kingarth tile works, now demolished. The house associated with the tile works remains and is listed separately (see The Tileries, Kingarth). Despite their picturesque appeal, the bricks were found to be too porous for extensive use, leaving this and Langalchorad Cottages as the few examples of their type in the area.
